I feel good when I remember Kant.
Some mathematicians think (?) that 2+2=4 is a theorem
deduced from Peano axioms (?).
The "proof" would be:
Theorem. 2+2=4
Proof. Let us denote S0=1, SS0=2.SSS0=3, SSSS0=4.
So, 2+2=SS0+SS0=S(SS0+S0)=SS(SS0+0)=SSSS0=4.
Alternative "proofs":
a) SS+SS=SSSS
b) @@+@@=@@@@
c) ab+cd=abcd
Time and space hidden after some notations, that is all.
And now; what time and space are?
Regards.
Fernando.
